Max Payne 3: On The Case Once Again This Winter?
Rockstar's Vancouver studio takes over from Remedy for third outing of ex-NYPD vigilante.
For fans of Max Payne, it has been a long wait since 2003 when the last game in the franchise was released to critical acclaim. Talk of a sequel came in 2004, when Take-Two hinted that a follow-up would eventually arrive. Fast-forward to 2008, and Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick once again mentioned the franchise, teasing that another installment may be in the works but again providing no firm details.
Today, Take-Two and its Rockstar Games subsidiary have announced that Max Payne 3 is indeed in development and is penned for a winter 2009 release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The game is being developed by Rockstar Vancouver, the same outfit behind the controversial sandbox action adventure Bully. Finnish outfit Remedy, which developed the first two Max Payne titles, is currently developing Alan Wake, which will be published by Microsoft.
Rockstar Vancouver will apparently not be straying far from Remedy's original formula, however, as Max Payne 3 again sees the titular retired NYPD veteran battling internal demons as well as those that plague the city's streets.
"We're starting a new chapter of Max's life with this game," commented Rockstar cofounder Sam Houser in a statement. "This is Max as we've never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation."
Rockstar did not delve into specific gameplay details, and did not mention the series' genre-defining "bullet time" slow-motion technique. The publisher merely noted that "the latest installment delivers more of the classic elements and hyperintense action that fans have come to love."
When Max Payne 3 rolls around this winter, it may find itself on shakier legs than when it left off six years ago. In October, the franchise saw its first transition to the silver screen. And while the Mark Wahlberg-led action flick pulled in healthy opening-week revenues, critics were all too eager to redub the film "Maximum Payneful" (an actual quote).
This news broke today about the long awaited Max Payne 3 coming to PS3 and X-Box 360 this coming winter. I loved the two games(hated the film) so hopefully the above quote will together and we can finally get a Payne game next gen style.

I really liked Max Payne, um, 1 (the video game) was dumb fun with some trippy moments (like the blood trail through the house) and the fire level (died SO many times)
But all in all was a fun game, and I haven't played part 2 yet

You should play the 2nd. It's a top sequel. I also had trouble with that fire level. Loved and hated the blood trail at the same time.

I bet Frankie's is good though. I had to have Niko leave the club, walk into the road and let a bus put him out of miserey after I heard that show of his.

I despise any GTA game after GTA3. All the games after 3 didn't offer anything new. It was like each game was just an extension of 3. Sure, there's more cars, weapons and blah blah blah but who the fuck cares? I'm still the same empathy-lacking thug that's still doing other peoples' dirty work. Oh, but wait, in an open-sandbox environment! All GTA games since three have been nothing but the previous game with a different and prettier texture map.

Well there are stuff that sounds like 3 in 4. GTA IV was my first bought and paid, for GTA game. But isn't that what it's meant to be? Isn't that what GTA is? Some "thug" doing whatever he can to make ends meet? No matter what, or who he has to work for? I think Niko is one of the best game characters to come along in years. Hell you could say that about any franchise sequel then,about it being the same as the ast lot.
Just to know and that, is GTA 3 the one were your mate turns on you at the end?
